Ingredients
- For the Melba toast:
- 4 SPAR Freshline Hot Cross Buns (we used the extra spicy variety)
- 50g SPAR salted butter, melted
- Salt, to taste
- To assemble:
- SPAR cheeses of choice (we used French Camembert, blue cheese and white Cheddar)
- SPAR Freshline Seedless Grapes
- Easter eggs of your choice
- 1 whole pomegranate, halved (optional)
- Edible flowers (optional)
- Pickles/jams of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- For the Melba toast, preheat the oven to 160°C. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Very thinly slice the hot cross buns width-ways using a sharp bread knife. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each slice with the melted butter and sprinkle with a little salt. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 5 – 10 minutes. Be sure to keep a close eye on the Melba toast which can easily burn. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- To assemble, place the cheeses on a large platter. Arrange the grapes, Easter eggs, pomegranate halves, edible flowers and pickles/ jams around the cheeses, if desired. Add the hot cross bun Melba toast to complete your cheeseboard. Dig in!
